<h1>Grid display preferences</h1>
<p>The Grid display preferences section allows you to personalize how grids 
 will display in your reports. Here, you can specify what features you 
 would like to access in your report grids. </p>
<p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences </B></span>at the top 
 of any page, and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid Display</B></span>. 
 </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid style</B></span>: 
 Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to specify 
 the grid style to use with reports in Web:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use the format 
 stored in the report definition</B></span>: The grid style preference that 
 is applied to the report definition by the report's designer is used for 
 all reports.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use my selected 
 default grid style</B></span>: Your selected default grid style (see the Default 
 grid style option below) is applied to all reports in Web. If you choose 
 to use a selected grid style, you will not be able to change any formatting 
 on any of the reports that you run. </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Default grid style</B></span><span>:</span> 
 Select a grid style from the drop-down list to be the default grid style 
 for all reports. The default grid style is used for all reports that are 
 run in Web if the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use my selected default 
 grid style</B></span> option is selected.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum rows in grid</B></span>: 
 Limit the number of rows displayed on your report at one time. If your 
 report has more rows than the number entered here, you can use <span style="margin-left: 40px;"><img src="images/double_back_button_icon.gif" width="29px" height="20px" border="0" class="img_whs3"> or <img src="images/double_front_button_icon.gif" width="26px" height="18px" border="0" class="img_whs4">to view additional 
 data.</span></p></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum columns in 
 grid</B></span>: Limit the number of columns displayed in your report at one 
 time. If your report has more rows than the number entered here, you can 
 use <span style="margin-left: 40px;"><img src="images/image38.gif" width="29px" height="20px" border="0" class="img_whs3"> or <img src="images/image40.gif" width="26px" height="18px" border="0" class="img_whs4"> 
 to view additional data.</span></p></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show attribute form 
 names</B></span>: Specify whether attribute form names for attributes with 
 multiple forms are displayed in reports. Choose one of the following from 
 the drop-down list:</p></li>
	<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Yes<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Attribute forms are displayed on reports.</span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>No</B></span>: Attribute 
 forms are not displayed on reports.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Read from report</B></span> 
 (default): You can hide or show a report's attribute forms using the View 
 menu.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show pivot buttons</B></span>: 
 Show or hide pivot buttons on all your reports. (You can also access these 
 buttons from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tools</B></span> menu in 
 a report.) </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show sort buttons</B></span>: 
 Show or hide sort buttons on all your reports. (You can also access these 
 buttons from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tools</B></span> menu in 
 a report.) </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Display empty grid 
 axes in View Mode</B></span>: Show or hide a grid report when objects do not 
 exist in the rows. For example, you have a report that does not contain 
 objects in its rows, but has objects in the columns. If this setting is 
 enabled, an empty grid is displayed in the part of the report in which 
 there are no objects, in this case, the rows. The empty grid may display 
 messages similar to the following: &quot;Drop objects here to add columns.&quot; 
 If this setting is disabled, only portions of the grid that contain objects 
 (in this case, the columns) are displayed.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Enable sorting by attribute 
 forms that are not displayed on the grid</B></span>: Determine whether you 
 can sort according to attribute forms that are not displayed on the grid. 
 For example, the description form for Category is displayed on a report. 
 If this setting is enabled, you can still sort the report based on the 
 ID form even though the ID form is not present on the report.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Automatic page-by</B></span>: 
 Determine whether a new page of information displays immediately after 
 you select a choice in a page-by drop-down list . If this check box is 
 cleared, you must click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 icon to see the new information after making a selection. This can be 
 useful if there are multiple page-by drop-down lists and you want to click 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> icon only once. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use images for depicting 
 expand and contract in outline mode</B></span>: Use this setting to adjust 
 the expand and contract symbols in Outline mode. <span style="margin-left: 40px;">If 
 the expand <img src="images/expand.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="9px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs6"> and contract <img src="images/contract.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="9px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs6"> images do not appear correctly in Outline mode, change 
 this setting. </span></p></li>
</ul>
<p>From the drop-down list at the bottom of the page, apply the changes 
 to the current project or all projects you have accessed that are stored 
 on the Intelligence Server and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span>.
